What Amazon Says:
Erin tends bar at the last dive left in gentrified Red Hook, Brooklyn, where old-timers spin tales of the bar's legacy and the waterfront's crime-ridden past. Her boss, Jimmy, a real estate magnate responsible for much of the neighborhood's shiny transformation, also has a story to share. Back when he was a struggling beat cop, 2 neglected boys introduced him to an ancietn creature that made Jimmy's dreams come true. Nightmares too. Erin doesn't believe a word. The bar is her life. But this bar at the end of the world is also home to a deadly stowaway. And it's looking for a new host.
This was a pretty good short story. I am still working through all the Amazon Free Reads I have collected over the years, and in the evenings, I can take an hour and burn through some of these short books. This one had good character development, a good mystery, and a good ending. I enjoyed it.
